It’s always slightly pinker than the grey of his normal skin but he never bites or scratch’s at it at all.
Please let me know if anyone had encountered this in the past. I took photos and a video but don’t know if I can share on this site.
Thank you for your help! |

My dog was 12 yrs of age when the Vet Specialist had informed me of the suspected Cushings status. She was going to begin testing the next day but my dog had passed away during the night. My dog had every symptom but one that was listed at the time for Cushing's Disease. I am no expert on this disease but I did listen to what the Vet Specialist had informed me. I had already searched everything I could on this disease. My dog's parents and grandparents were 10 inch toys. Jacques was a very large puppy and became 12 inches tall. He had beautiful hair for many years but was losing all of it at 11.5. The Cushings Disease was not my dx, it was the opinion of the Vet Specialist.
